Apple Xcode OpenBase Multiple Privilege Escalation Vulnerabilities

The OpenBase application shipped with Apple Xcode is prone to multiple privilege-escalation issues because the application fails to handle exceptional conditions when executing setuid programs.

A local attacker can exploit these issues to gain superuser privileges. A successful exploit would lead to the complete compromise of affected computers.

This issue affects Apple Xcode 2.2 and earlier versions.
